Chapter 81: Conflict (4)
When Li Yu returned to the private room upstairs, he saw Li Li sitting at the table at a glance, holding an empty cup in his hand and his face gloomy.
"I didn't expect that people were not as good as heaven, and they let the Yang family break it."
Seeing him come up, Li Li said hatefully.
"Although we have no success, it is not nothing, and what we want to do next time, at least we have a statement, not too abrupt."
Li Mi sat down at the table and picked up the flask and poured it for him.
"Your Highness, don't you think that Mrs. Qiuguo came too coincidentally?"
Li Jiao took a sip slowly, thinking about the scene just now, and had some aftertaste.
"Sir, she meant to do so?"
Only this explanation can make sense, otherwise the Feng family, the Liu family, and even the Gao family have nothing to do with her, so why should she be stronger? Even Shicai Feng Changqing categorically refused to go back to the house with her, without the slightest temper, with the pampering of the Yang family, has His Royal Highness ever seen it? ”
"She is for Yang Guozhong to recruit Feng Changqing!"
Li Li was suddenly taken aback, if you want to say this kind of thing, the Yang family can do it very generously, but they can only cover it up, it is not in a difficult place, and with the Yang family's means, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist, and he can't help but lose a sense of frustration.
Li Mi quietly watched his expression change, and sighed secretly in his heart.
"Feng Changqing's attitude today has shown that he does not want to get involved in this troubled water, and now it seems that we are weak, but Your Highness should not forget, the orthodoxy of the prince has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, this is the biggest advantage, but anyone who has aspirations will not consider this, if Feng Changqing does not know the general trend, such a person should not be, if he is smart, he should naturally know how to do it, and what His Highness has to do is just wait, I really can't think of it, what is easier than this?"
"What is the gentleman's plan for today?"
"Killing two birds with one stone, if you succeed, you will have one more help, if you don't, you can see who will jump out, Yang is so eager, it may not be a signal."
"Please sir." Li Li said solemnly.
"At present, the biggest variable in the court is that the right phase is hanging in the air, Yang Guozhong has been back in Beijing for nearly a month, how many times have he entered the palace, but the Supreme has not seen him, originally thought it was a test of his heart, but now that I think about it, there may be another mystery in it."
"The supreme is worried, it is no longer the chief position of a courtier, but the future trend of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo, a century-old enemy, was wiped out, not only the people did not expect it, even the princes of the court are also the same, it took them a month to confirm the accuracy of the news, and it took another month to discuss the results of the disposal, and now it is the end of the year, and there is still no conclusion, what does this mean? The court is not prepared for the follow-up once the Tang Dynasty loses this strong enemy. ”
Li Mi's mouth was like a river, and he talked eloquently.
"That's a strong neighbor who has broken me several times! If it is still the case, when the whole Tubo people move into the Guannai, they are attached to the counties of various states, but they have as many as a million people, and it is appropriate to settle in several counties? The amount of money involved involves all aspects, and it is more related to the vital interests of the counties along the border. ”
"Your Royal Highness, let me think about it, not to mention the two towns of Hexi and Longyou, both of which were set up to defend Tibet, and now that this enemy has been destroyed, should it be abolished, if it is abolished, more than 150,000 soldiers in the two towns should be placed? If we don't cut it, wouldn't the annual military money spent more than before, so what is the significance of this victory? The reward has not come down for a long time, and the princes of Guy have not thought of a two-way strategy, at this time, the position of the right minister is actually a hot potato, Yang Guozhong does not have Li Xiangguo's wrist, but he is hot, how can the Supreme entrust the phase to him at this time? ”
Listening to his analysis, Li Jiao gradually became obsessed, and unconsciously substituted himself into that position, such a complicated situation, I only felt that there were thousands of things, and I didn't know where to start, and then I suddenly felt that the supreme position was not an easy job.
"Victory or defeat has always been a dilemma, if you are not careful, it will cause trouble, this work of destroying the country, may become the source of the disaster, the supreme prudence lies in this, and the anxiety of the Yang family also lies in this, and we, we might as well sit on the mountain and watch the play, walk around and watch the flowers, does Your Highness understand?"
"Thank you, sir, for your advice, and really don't do anything?"
Li Jiao was taught orally, but he was a little unwilling in his heart, how could Li Yu not see it, and smiled slightly.
"It's not that there is nothing to do, Fang Cai thought of a place, does Your Highness want to hear it?"
"I want to hear about it."
Li Li eagerly made a listening appearance, Li Yu stepped forward and said something in his ear, and he was stunned for a moment.
Is that okay too?
I have to say that Li Yu's feeling is very accurate, in Xingqing Palace, Li Longji is having a headache because of this, almost two months have passed, and there is no conclusion for a long time, and his patience is about to be exhausted.
The right prime minister Chen Xilie has both the military department Shangshu, that is, the former military department, led by him, together with the military department squire Xiao Hua and several court officials and subordinate officials for nearly a month, even the hair is much whiter, the whole person is even more haggard, Li Longji is not good to criticize anything, after all, the other party is thousands of miles away, from the hinterland of the Tubo people.
“...... The result of the discussion between the ministers and the princes was, first, to settle the original site, and the imperial court sent personnel to divide the hometown of Tubo into areas of different sizes, set up boundary monuments, and arrange them according to the tribal population and the number of livestock, so that there was no need to move into the interior in a big way, and there was no need for the imperial court to spend too much money and grain. ”
"And there's more." Li Longji said noncommittally.
"The second is to imitate the Gaochang example, move the Tibetan magnates to the capital, and scatter the rest in the Guanlong counties, so that the people have no leader, and then set up military towns in all parts of Tubo, and slowly educate and make them attached."
"Gao Chang?" Li Longji read the name, which had disappeared for nearly a hundred years, and pondered for a while.
"Anything else?"
"There is also the relocation of his troops to the side of the Qilian Mountain, until Qinghai, then the two towns of Helong are still responsible, but I am afraid that they do not want to."
Li Longji glanced at him, the implication of this only prime minister is that even if they are willing, the imperial court will have to pay a large amount of money and food, which is not cost-effective at all.
"After a month's hard work, you have come up with such a method?"
"The ministers are incompetent, and His Majesty is begging for the Holy Judgment."
Chen Xilie and others were guilty, which made him even more upset, and he couldn't help but think of Li Linfu when he was alive, although he had many problems, he had never bothered him so much.
"What about the rewards for meritorious soldiers?"
"Geshuhan first broke the main force of the Tubo people in Qinghai, recovered the land of Jiuqu, and then forced the Subi Department, led the army to some cities, and then had today's victory, according to the Tubo system issued before the war, as the king."
"What about Feng Changqing?"
"Feng Changqing led the army of 10,000 people, went deep into the barren, recovered the enemy capital, pacified the Zhangxiong and Nepalese countries, became the prince of the Jin Dynasty, and added the official Imperial Shi Dafu, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions."
Chen Xilie continued: "Cheng Qianli has the merit of flanking, and he can be crowned a marquis. ”
"The rest of the meritorious soldiers are rewarded according to their military merits, and there is only one person, who should be considered by His Majesty."
"Who?" Li Long basically thought that he was talking about Liu Ji, but he didn't expect it to be an unfamiliar name.
"Wang Weiliang, the deputy envoy of the Han Navy, has here an impeachment document jointly signed by the Anxi states, accusing him of setting up troops to plunder the villagers, running amok and committing many illegal incidents, and the people of all the people are attached to him."
"What?"
Li Longji was furious when he heard this, and took the note he handed over from Gao Lishi's hand, and found that it was a thick handful, which was turned back at will, all of which were accusations from the people, and he was even more angry.
"Did you take it?"
"According to Yang Helai, the envoy of Khotan Town, his people and the Beiting cavalry led by him and more than 2,000 people have been arrested in the local area and are waiting to be dispatched."
"So what are you waiting for, I don't want to see that name again."
Li Longji's words almost burst out of his teeth, and it made people shudder to hear it, Chen Xilie held Yugui in his hand and replied: "The ministers respect the holy order. ”
After disposing of the offending general, Li Longji felt a lot of fire, and casually looked at the music in his hand, and accidentally found that the most mentioned in it was still that name.
Liu Ji.
The young man who was talking eloquently in front of the palace, in his mind, the image slowly became distinct.
